The Charlotte Douglas International Airport Smoking Area offers designated outdoor zones for passengers who wish to smoke, ensuring comfort for smokers while maintaining a healthy environment for non-smokers. Smoking, including e-cigarettes and vaping, is prohibited inside the terminal and beyond TSA checkpoints. Clearly marked smoking sections are located outside the terminal entrances and exits, equipped with ashtrays for convenience. These areas are easily accessible and, in some cases, provide shelter from the weather. Travelers should plan their smoking breaks before passing through security, as no indoor smoking facilities are available, helping the airport maintain clean air within its terminals.
